Chapter 1556 Police Report
Vinson was not too pleased. He took a glance at his phone and noticed that it was a call from Harvey.
In an impatient tone, Vinson answered the call, ‘‘Hello?’‘
Then, he raised an octave as he said, ‘‘What?’‘
He immediately got up from his chair and hung up the phone. ‘‘Something happened to Sonia.’‘
‘‘What’s the matter?’‘ Arielle asked anxiously. ‘‘Wasn’t she all right just now?’‘
Vinson got up to fetch his car keys immediately. ‘‘Harvey did not tell me the details over the phone. Let’s go over there first.’‘
Then, he hurriedly rushed out to find Harvey.
After he arrived at his destination, Vinson noticed there were a few police cars parked by the entrance of the house.
He went inside the house and was greeted by the sight of a few policemen busy taking notes. An elder policeman eyed the two men who rushed inside the place and asked, ‘‘Which one of you is Harvey Jupiter?’‘
Harvey was slightly stumped before he answered, ‘‘I-I am. Might I ask—’‘
‘‘I’m Darren Fox. This is my police ID.’‘ Darren showed his pass to the two men and said, ‘‘Were you the one who reported that Ms. Sonia Wynter had been abducted? When was the last time you saw Ms. Wynter?’‘
‘‘Tonight,’‘ Harvey replied in a heartbeat.
Darren furrowed his brows slightly. ‘‘That’s very recent. I’m afraid you can’t file the report for a missing person so soon, sir.’‘
Right then, Harvey thought there was nothing to hide anymore, as long as it concerned the case.
Hence, he came clean with Darren, ‘‘We agreed to meet tonight, and she just went missing in action. I could not get her on the phone either. I went to her house before I tried filing a report, and her family told me that she’s left.’‘
‘‘All right. Let me check the surveillance camera footage. We will have more information on the matter after we’ve done a more thorough investigation.’‘ Then, Darren turned to his fellow policeman and instructed, ‘‘Bring all the related evidence and footage to the police station.’‘
The policemen hurriedly moved the items out of the house after receiving the instruction.
‘‘Please get into the car,’‘ Darren said rather courteously.
‘‘Do you guys think Sonia might be in danger?’‘ Harvey asked anxiously.
‘‘I think she’s going to be all right.’‘ Even though Vinson felt uneasy about the situation, he was quick to come to his senses. After all, he was the only one who could console Harvey right then.
‘‘Should we call Sonia’s parents?’‘ Arielle asked in a low voice.
‘‘Let’s just wait until we’re at the police station.’‘ Harvey did not think it was appropriate for him to go to Sonia’s father for everything. Hence, he hesitated for a moment and decided not to call her father in the end.
The three of them got into the police car and went to the police station. In the end, they were brought to the criminal investigation unit, and all of them, including the film crew members that followed along, were brought to separate offices to record their statements.
It was apparent from the crowded police station after working hours that the policemen’s hours were not fixed. Almost all of them were still very busy with their tasks. It was not very peaceful as of late, and there was a surge in the number of criminal cases. Most of them were big cases that required their immediate attention. Hence, the criminal investigation unit was overwhelmed.
A female police officer greeted Harvey. She then followed the standard operating procedure and asked some questions about Sonia and him, such as their names and ages. After that, she finally asked the most important question of all, ‘‘Has Sonia offended anyone?’‘
‘‘I guess not?’‘ Harvey felt uneasy as he recalled the dream that Sonia had recounted to him in the morning. ‘‘Did she already know what was going to happen?’‘ he wondered.
‘‘Are you and Sonia in a relationship?’‘ the female officer asked.
Harvey nodded.
‘‘Before the two of you separated, did Sonia tell you anything in particular?’‘ The female officer’s voice was rather calm.
‘‘No,’‘ Harvey replied honestly. ‘‘Our planned meetup was also decided on a whim.’‘
